Mother’s Children Have A Hard Time The Blind Boys Of Alabama

Motherless children
Have a hard time
When mother is gone
Mother is gone

Motherless children
Have a hard time
When mother is gone
Mother is gone

They don’t have
Nowhere to go
Wandering around
Door to door

Motherless children
(Have a hard time)
Have a hard time
Just when mother is gone
(Let me say this)
Mother is gone

Nobody on earth
Can take mother's place when
When mother’s gone
(Mother is gone)
Nobody on earth
Can take mother’s place
When mother is gone
(Mother is gone)
Nobody on earth
Can take mother’s place
Many will start
And then just fade away
Nobody
(Nobody treats ya)
Treats ya
(Like mother will)
Like mother will
Yeah, yeah
When mother is gone
Sho’ ‘nough, sho’ ‘nough
Mother is gone
